French or English Immersion Courses in Brittany, France

These residential immersion courses take place in our French home in Corseul, a little village just outside of Dinan. They are typically for anyone wishing to fully immerse themselves in a French environment whilst following a French language course, or for French people wishing to take intensive English lessons, who may not wish to travel to the UK or do not have the time to.

You will follow a structured
programme, based on your level, needs and requirements, with your own private – and very tranquil - accommodation just next door. Lessons are generally from 9 till 12.30 in the morning, and then in the afternoon learning is reinforced through a variety of resources e.g. online exercises and grammar / vocabulary games, books, French TV / DVDs, board games. You will also be able to play table-tennis, darts or table football (all in French of course), and relax in either the sunny conservatory or the cosy living room with its blazing log-burner, according to the season.

Whilst some meals will be shared, accommodation is primarily self-contained in the little gite beside our house, which can easily accommodate two (with the possibility of an extra guest on the sofa bed) if you wish to share the experience with a partner and / or friends.

After lessons you will continue to practise your linguistic skills
through various activities / outings. You will also have the opportunity to visit some of the many tourist sites in this beautiful part of Brittany.

There are also a couple of extra options, namely visiting the Normandy Beaches or spending a whole day in Jersey. As Jersey is only an hour away from the French coast, this affords an exciting opportunity for our French guests to put into action the language they’ve been learning during the week.

During the week, you will prepare for a presentation to be given on your last day, which will demonstrate all that you have learnt. This will be videoed along with other key moments during your stay, so that you will have a lasting memory of your stay.

The Standard Options

3 days (a long weekend), 5 days (Monday to Friday), or a week (7 days) but different durations can also be accommodated

Self-contained accommodation

Lessons from 9 – 12.30 am (with optional extra lessons in afternoon)

Afternoons / evenings – activities / outings

A video of key moments of your stay including your final presentation for you to keep as a lasting souvenir of your stay

A free online lesson before your stay to discuss your requirements more fully and for me to assess your current level so that I can prepare a personalised language programme for you

Free transfers from Dinard / Rennes airport or St Malo ferry port

The “Holiday” Option

Why not combine your language learning with sight-seeing in this beautiful part of France, either during your stay, or at the end? It is possible to rent out our gite purely as a holiday let, so you could consider tagging a holiday on at the end of your immersion course. Please enquire if this would be of interest to you.
